Conveniently located just two blocks from the historic Sonoma Plaza, the Inn at Sonoma is a solid choice for a Wine Country trip with your dog. This Tripadvisor top-ranked hotel features 19 well-appointed guestrooms in the main building and 8 newly opened guestrooms in the adjacent Vintners Cottage. The property is part of Four Sisters Inns’ Modern Collection, offering an updated, sophisticated take on traditional inn stays with contemporary styling and purpose-built architecture.

What’s included in your room rate makes a real difference. You get a full breakfast buffet each morning, wine and hors d’oeuvres in the evening, freshly-baked cookies, turndown service on request, bicycles to borrow for exploring the nearby plaza and surrounding wine country, and access to the onsite hot tub. That’s a lot of amenities already built in, so you’re not nickel-and-dimed for extras.

Dogs are welcome here, which is the main thing you’re probably checking. You’ll need to make an advance reservation and get approval, and the hotel is upfront about one important limitation: they have only a limited number of pet-friendly rooms available. This isn’t one of those places where dogs stay in any room—availability is genuinely restricted. That means you should book well ahead if you’re planning to bring your dog, especially during peak Wine Country season when availability tightens up fast.

The location two blocks from Sonoma Plaza is genuinely convenient. You’re close enough to walk over easily for dinner or shopping, but far enough that you’re not dealing with street noise all night. The plaza itself has plenty of shade and space, and most of the surrounding blocks are walkable for exploring the town. If you’re planning a relaxed Wine Country weekend where you want your dog with you but don’t want to stress about finding pet-friendly accommodations at the last minute, booking early here makes sense.
